In this 14th episode of DMCS I was so happy to have Katie Seto ( https://www.twitch.tv/voiceunmuted ) join me. Katie is 100% herself and does not apologize for being that way to anyone. All you have to do is spend 5 minutes in one of her Twitch streams to be inspired by that mentality and way of living. Katie and I talk about what it is like to just keep getting on the stage when you are afraid be...

When you are trying to improve, when you are trying to move forward, when you are climbing there will always be people who say mean shit about you. They are jealous, they are uncomfortable with their state of being as you improve and you move forward. Take all that hate, bundle it, be proud that you said or did something that evoked an emotion. You, you are creatives! You are makers, doers, put th...

On this episode I had the chance to sit down with the energetic, fun, risk taking, seemingly limitless and incredibly tenacious owner of Iron North Studio , Jenna Ladd , and it was absolutely delightful. Following up on Friday's episode about investing in yourself I wanted to find someone that would talk to me and you amazing folks about pushing themselves. Jenna, fit that bill to the tea. I...

I couldn't not be any happier to have Danielle Allard who is an amazing musician and an even better human join me on episode 10 as I talk about giving into you, listening to yourself, and following what and where that path leads. Danielle has had a truly inspirational journey into and through and around and over and into making music as frequent as she does. Our chat covers a lot of territory...

It can be incredibly difficult to jump into anything new. But sometimes it's what is best and sometimes we have to trick ourselves into making that jump less scary. On top of all that you have to ask yourself, what's the worst thing that can happen if I make the jump?  One thing that can really help us make more jumps is if we were able to make our jumps simpler. Maybe when you are about...

What does a nurse, a documentary filmmaker, a burlesque dancer, and a scientist all have in common? Well in the case of Chantalle Clarkin, they are all one person. Chantalle's journey been one of twists and turns. Her inspiring stories of change and of never settling is sure to move you. The idea that a 15 year pin could be placed on your desk, aw yes stability, benefits, calm, well not for C...

Why would I ever choose to talk about this crazy deep topic in such a short time? Well because I'm a dork. Change is always inevitable but how and why do we choose to make those changes? Our brain has roughly 70,000 thoughts per day but many of those thoughts are the same day to day, experts have said 91% of our thoughts are the exact same. So what do we do with those 9% of new thoughts every...

Carolyn Gummo is one of those people that you don't have to spend very much time with until you know you are going to be inspired by her sense of self, her sense of adventure, and her free spirit. I was so honoured to be able to have Carolyn on the show as we discussed her leap into the clothing store world, what it means to take over a family business, and how there really are no failures ju...

This second instalment of Fifteen Minute Friday and wow what a leap to fit all the stuff into fifteen minutes but it's fun thanks for joining. I look forward to keep making them better. This episode is all about self talk and how we are really great at negative self talk yet pretty shitty at the positive side of things. We give ourselves a hard time so often, harder than we would ever give ou...

This is an episode dedicated to the storytellers who choose video as their means to tell those stories. Matt West and I have known each other for a good number of years now and he is always someone who is creative, funny, and is always thinking about life and any story, no matter how exciting or mundane it is, in terms of how he can turn it into a movie. Matt is an absolute machine at churning out...

This is a  brand new series I will be taking on where each Friday I share 15 minutes worth of thoughts and clips about a concept, a theory, something I read, watched, heard that relates to people doing more cool shit. Hopefully this becomes a series where you find inspiration or become curious about a new talk a new book or something that gets you thinking and more importantly doing! This episode...

One of the things that gets me fired up on any day that I'm feeling a bit down or a bit sluggish is music. Music can drive the legs, the heart, the head, and the soul forward at just about any time. In this episode I'm so lucky to talk to my dear friend Craig Cardiff who has been making music his life for a very long time. I have alway admired his ability to connect with people and to ma...
